Toyokawa Inari Shrine

Toyokawa Inari is a paradox, being both a Buddhist Temple of the Sodo sect, and a Shinto Shrine dedicated to Inari Okami, the god of fertility, rice and agriculture, industry and worldly success, as well as foxes.

Located in Toyokawa City about 50 kilometers southeast of Nagoya in Aichi Prefecture, Toyokawa Inari is considered one of Japan’s Big Three Inari Shrines, along with the Fushimi Inari in Kyoto and the Yutoku Inari Shrine in Saga Prefecture.
